  • Story link: Packers and Rams in the 1950s

    I thought this story from the Green Bay Press-Gazette was fun to read, about the days when the Packers and Rams were Western Conference rivals:

    My favorite quote:

    Los Angeles' supremacy over the Packers reached a peak on Dec. 16, 1956. Quarterback Norm Van Brocklin, running back Tom Wilson and their teammates set records that have endured for more than half a century.

    "The Packers were pitifully defenseless against the Los Angeles Rams in the Coliseum before 45,209 tennis-necked fans Sunday afternoon," Art Daley wrote in beginning his account of the game for the Press-Gazette. The Rams, who won 49-21, amassed 611 yards, 33 first downs and didn't punt in a battle between teams that tied for last place in the Western Conference.
    Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

    Sorry--double post.
    Growing up as a Packers fan in the 50s must have been brutal.
